The first traces of human presence date back to the Neolithic era (4-2 millennium BC), and the first traces of settlement date back to about 1700 BC. During dredging on the Narew River in 1980, fragments of a boat from the 1st century AD, a spearhead from the 15th century and a sword blade from the 17th century were also found.

 

Prince Konrad I of Mazovia (circa 1233) is considered the founder of the later city, and the first mention dates back to 1294 as the property of the Mazovian voivode Jan from the Nałęcz coat of arms. The city is mentioned in documents under different names: Novidvor near the Narew River (New Dvor near the Narew River) (1355), Nova Curia (New Dvor), Nova Aula, later also Novidvor, Nouidvor or Novodvor. On June 29, 1374, Prince Siemowit III of Mazovia granted the city rights to the settlement of Chelmno and transferred them to Abraham, Dobrogost and Nemezh, the sons of Tomislav, along with the privilege of fishing on the Narew and Vistula rivers and collecting customs duties on the Narew River. In 1421, the estate was divided among the sons of Nemezh - Abraham settled in Greater Poland near Volshtyn, Dobrogost remained and took the name Novodvorsky.

 

In 1544, the rights of the city were renewed by King Sigismund the Old, in the 17th century the city fell as a result of numerous floods, epidemics, robberies and wars. On September 30, 1655, in the Battle of Nowy Dvor, the Swedish army defeated the Mazovian militia here during the Swedish Flood. After the Swedish flood, the city sank to the status of a village, which it remained until the end of the 18th century. A private noble town located in the Principality of Mazovia, in 1739 belonged to the Lubomirski family Novy Dvor.

 

On June 20, 1782, Nowy Dwur Farm again received city rights from Prince Stanisław Poniatowski. On October 21, 1792, the parish church of St. Archangel Michael, Prince Stanislaus Foundation. In 1794, Nowy Dwur was bought by Count Ludwik Shimon Gutakovsky. After the third partition of Poland, Nowy Dwur was part of Prussia and after the Congress of Vienna - in the partition of Russia.

 

In 1807, on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte, the construction of the Modlin Fortress began; since 1810, it was built not as a food warehouse, but as a fortified camp. In 1811, 19,000 people worked at the construction site. From February 5, 1813 to December 1, 1813, the French defended the Modlin fortress, which was besieged by the Russians. In connection with the construction of the fortress, the economic revival of the city of Nowy Dvur took place, which in 1820 became a county town and received the right to organize fairs. During this period, hammas and taverns began to appear here, an influx of Germans, Russians and Jews began.

 

In 1832, the expansion of the Modlin fortress under the new name Novogeorgievsk began under the leadership of General Ivan Ivanovich Den. In the 1860s, the fortress was still expanding. At the end of that century, a railway line was laid, as a result of which the first industrial enterprises were built here, such as a starch factory, a faience factory, a plywood factory, 2 sawmills. And at the beginning of the 20th century - a steam mill, a mother-of-pearl button factory, a brewery and two butcher shops. Despite this, the city was destroyed by floods in 1813, 1844, 1876 and 1888 when the city was further destroyed by fire.

 

During the First World War, in mid-July 1915, German troops approached the Modlin fortress, finally cutting off the garrison of the fortress from the rest of the Russian troops on August 10. As a result of the siege, on August 19, 1915, the fortress was captured by the Germans. When leaving the fortress, the Russians destroyed the bridges on the Narew and the Vistula, and Nowy Dvur burned down during the German offensive.

In 1920, the Jewish population was preventively evicted from the city, and the Polish army turned the Jewish synagogue into a stable.

 

In the interwar period, in 1919-1926, the Cadet School, the Armored Artillery Cadet School, the Sapper Training Center and many other units were located in the barracks of the fortress. In the 1920s, a power plant, the first shipyard and a naval port were built here.

In 1931, the proportions of the city's population changed little. It had 9,386 inhabitants, and Jews made up 46% of the population (4,316 inhabitants). At the end of 1937 the name of the city was changed from Nowy Dwur to Nowy Dwur Mazowiecki.

 

During the Second World War, from September 13 to 29, 1939, the fortress was defended in the September campaign under the command of General Victor Tomme, after its fall it was occupied by the Wehrmacht. Nowy Dwur itself was badly damaged and was renamed Neuhof, and from 1942 Bugmünde (when the street names were changed to German). From May 1940 to December 12, 1942, there was a Jewish ghetto here. It was located in the poorest part of the city, on the so-called Piaski. The inhabitants of the ghetto were transported by the Germans to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The last such transfer took place on December 12, 1942, with about 2,000 people. Some residents of Jewish origin were deported to the ghetto in Legionowo.

 

During the occupation, the Germans built 4 gallows in the city. In 1944 there was a forced labor camp here. On January 15, 1945 at 17.20 Novy Dvur was liberated, 70% destroyed.

 

After the war, the recovery of the city and its industry began, but the city again suffered from floods in 1947 and 1962.
